Full review at ihavetosay.blog 

Compared to the first, this book is more angsty in a yearning way. Throughout the book, Oli’s bond, which is personified as its own entity, throws tantrums because it wants its power to be used and wants to be around and bond with its counterparts (North, Atlas, Nox, Gryphon, and Gabe).

Oli has some control over her bond, but not much compared to the first book. Her restraint has pretty much gone out the window and it feels like she’s going through puberty in a dramatized way. She can be a lot at times.

This book also feels like more setup. We see Oli’s dynamics change with each of her bonds, see how her bonds are like with each other, are given a rundown of each of her bond’s powers, and see the aftermath of the reveal of Oli’s power.

liked it a little more than the last one, but it’s a little slow. I’m ready to get out of the groundwork stages and into the action.

I don’t know what it is about this series, but I’m invested. I’ve already started the next one, and it’s giving what I’ve been waiting for.
